Today I continued my vacation by taking John to the mall so that I could get my glasses fixed (Novalee jumped on me and bent them a bit) and John could go to the playground area which he refers to as "going to see ninos." Earlier in the morning Connie took John to the doctor so that they could check his blood count which was high last week. It's come down and is almost at his normal level. We were at the mall for almost 2 hours and during that time I took some video and pictures of him playing. He was jumping off of the firetruck but of course when I started filming he changed and started "falling" off of it.
Towards the end of our time there a girl that was about 2 years older than him came up and told him that she liked playing with boys. When I asked him if he heard he he said yes so I told him to go and play some more. They had about fifteen minutes together before she had to leave and we decided to go as well. John had been dropping vague hints like "Daddy take me to McDonalds" over and over so I decided to accede to his wishes.
On our way out of the building we went past the area that has cars to ride in for a dollar but since I didn't have any change he just sat in one and used his imagination as you can see.
We spent an even longer time at McDonalds where John ran all over the place. Later it emptied out until he was the only child in there but after a few minutes it filled up and he found several kids to play with and they were chasing each other around. All in all he had almost five hours between the two places to have his fun. Tomorrow afternoon he goes to the babysitters and I get to concentrate on my script(s) for a bit.
